Dear Spencer and Chris, Tim and Beth, Sidney and Kelly and families, Ellie will be missed by so many, we shared alot over the 60 plus years, she loved her family so much and she said she was so blessed to have you, you were so good to her. I feel she will be with us in so many ways and I have many good memories to keep her close. Not sure I will see you for her service, but know I send you my love. I am so relieved she isn’t suffering anymore and know she is with her angels.
